Who is Ispettore Ginko?

Ispettore Ginko is a tenacious Italian police inspector who debuted in the very first Diabolik story in 1962, becoming the master thief Diabolik's chief pursuer. A brilliant, relentless detective, he dedicates his career to bringing the elusive criminal to justice.

Few characters in Italian comics have proven as enduringly essential as Ispettore Ginko — a figure who has been at the heart of Astorina's iconic Diabolik universe since its very first issue in 1962, making him a true Silver Age original with roots stretching across an extraordinary six decades of publication. With 439 catalog appearances spanning Diabolik, Diabolik - Le origini del mito, and Diabolik Swiisss, he is one of the most consistently present figures in the entire series, a testament to just how indispensable he is to the world these stories inhabit. Two of those appearances carry key-issue status for collectors, and his company across the page — including Gustavo Garian and the duchessa Altea di Vallenberg — speaks to the rich, dramatic cast that makes this universe so compelling. If you're exploring the landmark tradition of Italian fumetti, Ispettore Ginko is absolutely where the story begins.
